Packaged products ready to use? No.
Libraries which I use in my own projects? I at least have a quick look at the implementation, often a more detailed analysis if issues pop up.

Giving birth to yourself - the ultimate self hosting

Ok then I’m surprised it’s so high on average. Only some very bad places drop under 5

I’m very worried that the US will not defend Taiwan in the case of invasion. It was widely considered that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan was a situation likely to lead to a nuclear war.
I was hoping to live long enough to see the extermination of humanity.

I don’t think they would be shocked because it’s a common sentiment in the west too “Our country needs a strong leader!”
Thinking that is one of the few cases where it would be justified for people to lose political rights.

How many times do we need to learn the same lesson about prohibition? Although it did help a lot to reduce domestic violence according to the article. Getting rid of forced marriage instead of alcohol would have been a better option but we should celebrate small victories I guess…

I don’t understand the resistance to changing platforms that many people and especially companies show.
For example the company I work for refuses to consider anything except Xitter. Casually talking with the people running social media, I concluded they think about platforms as a fixed fact of nature, rather than something flexible that you can experiment with.

There’s basically a minimal cost to having a multi-platform presence. Copy/paste your posts to 3 places, there are even tools to automate it.

Nice. Also, I’d like to see weight as one of the filter/sort options.

Username checks out. Hi Donald!

They are a party of cognitive dissonance. She’s the perfect leader.

Supposedly one of Putin’s homes. Idk how often he actually stays there.

When Egypt is the reasonable one … you know how bad it is

At this point it’s Putin (through Trump) who seems desperate to end the war. While I don’t want to see more Ukrainians dying, agreeing to a truce now seems like a bad idea.

lol, because if they work 40-hour weeks they might create it a couple of weeks later

I forgot Skype still exists. They killed it a long time ago, now they will just make it official

lol somebody wrote a whole analysis why

The author is very likely female and Chinese.

a simple click on the author’s profile shows he’s a French man

Interesting observations. The behavior on dating apps is prime stuff for sociological research. I wonder what even more data from really big apps could reveal.
The author doesn’t seem to question the current role of dating in society and takes it as a given, but that’s fine observing phenomena from within the system is not invalid.

Millions of refugees from Syria too

This is very common in the EU. The majority of news sites do it. I believe it’s technically legal because they aren’t under obligation to provide a free access at all
